>ATI reports (from a Garuda statement) that both engines flamed out when the a/c entered a cloudburst whilst descending from FL320 to FL230.
Despite several efforts the crew could not relight (CFM56's).<
Very strange indeed considering that if operated above min idle, as placarded, that these engines can take massive amounts of water without flaming out
In fact it actually takes ice mixed with rain to even flame them out if operated at min idle.
No surprise about the inability to relight. It's tough to relight outside the normal restart envelope and especially so if the compressors were damaged internally.
